How bout put the mma guy in a boxing ring and watch him get destroyed, it goes both ways
yeah but what I would say is the MMA ring is more akin to the 'street' than Marquess of Queensbury rules. As I said, I'm a boxing fan and find MMA very boring but your floor-hugger beats a boxer 9 times outta 10 imho.

And most top boxers only fight twice a year, and that's if you're lucky. Kind of hard to get pumped up for a fight when I have to wait a year for it. And on top of it there's a good chance it's going to go to decision. They're two different entities. But if I'm going to spend 50 bucks I'm pretty much guaranteed to get more excitement out of MMA...

This ^^^
I would still watch Pacman vs Mayweather. But other than that I would rather watch paint dry.

boxers are professionals that get paid millions of dollars to do what they do... MMA is just a different kind of WWE is more popular now but they are street fightes with no real skills

U r the biggest retard to ever make a post...Period...
If anyone says MMA fighters are LESS skilled than boxers, even though they train in boxing plus about half a dozen other martial arts, they should kill themselves...The lack of common sense is mind blowing.
People trained in 1 skill, which requires SKILL and hard training YES I agree, but compare that to people that train hard in MANY martial arts + Boxing + Wrestling and train to take abuse from punches, knees, kicks, throws, and submissions, not just big gloves.
Give me a break...this isnt even counting the entertainment factor. I dont understand how ANYONE can stand behind boxing for any of these reasons.

put shane carwin in a boxing ring with any HW from the last 10 years and you'll have the most entertaining boxing match in decades. NOt saying he'd outright win, but his MMA mentality would not permit him to cover up and scamper around the ring like a fairy for 12 rounds. Win, lose or draw he would make sure it was settled within a few rounds. Unless he was fighting said sissy who ran from him the whole fight. Boxing would still be tolerable if there were still grown ass men in the sport. The guys in boxing now are skilled fighters who know how to run from the "men" for 12 rounds and stick and move just enough to get the decision. Take those big ass gloves from boxing and put em in MMA style gloves and I mihgt start watching again.
or just make the boxing ring smaller
co-sign tho, watching runner-style boxers isn't fun

boxing is dead. its a fact. statistics show this. pac man and mayweather is the only fight left anyone cares about. yes i will pay to watch that. besides those two no one knows anything about boxing anymore because they dont care. but you say the top names in UFC and people will know who they are even if they barely watch or care about UFC.
I heard the statistic about the average mma fighter getting paid higher then the average boxer but i cant recall now.
